Opting for an October Odyssey with Jillian - still shredding as the nights draw in

[OublietteBravo]

I thought I'd start an October thread.

Everyone welcome - it doesn't matter if you've never tried a Jillian DVD before or if you've got the full set. A thread to keep us all motivated as we push on through October with Jillian.

I had a good day today - I finished level 2 of 30DS, started level 3 and did 6W6P L2D6. I'm having a rest day tomorrow because I'll be too stiff to do anything

Final session tonight: Ri30 L1D1 & 6W6P L2D16.

Just need to pack now (we're flying first thing Sunday morning). See you all in a see or so

Hi, please can I join? I've done 30day before but had a long time doing nothing much. Have bitten the bullet tonight and done day 1of ripped in 30.

Argh, 4 rest days in a row is not good!! Must get back on it tomorrow!!

BFBM today.
Hope you have a good holiday Oubliette - you deserve it!
Welcome GandT - I like Brecon Gin or Bombay sapphire with slimline tonic and a slice of lime best! It's my Friday night treat!

Kickbox fast fix today (1 x 20min - lower body). As per Jillian's instruction, I did indeed drip sweat! I used to be able to do these 20-min workouts without breaking much sweat so clearly have something to work towards now I'm back in the regular exercise groove!

BFBM today.
Pigeon, G&T, are you still there?
Hope someone appears on this thread soon to keep me company while Oubliette's away!

Argh, I haven't shredded for a week now! We were away last weekend and DH has been away all week so I've been flying solo with 3 kids (7, 4 and 2) and a puppy so shredding has fallen by the wayside. Kids are off to stay with MIL for half term though so no excuse then...

I'm back after a break of 9 days. I did Ri30 L1D1 and 6W6P L1D1. I expect I'll feel a bit sore tomorrow.

I think I need to mix it up a bit. Hmmmm - shall I try NMTZ, BFBM or KB&T?

Ow - feeling sore this morning after yesterday's circuits - 6W6P L2 is hard going when you've had a week off!

Hi all,

Can Jillian transform my upper half in seven weeks?! I am desperate!! I need to lose some weight off my arms and chest.... belly too if possible though I know that is mostly down to the kitchen!

hi CheckedMate - Jillian can certainly make a difference within that type of timescale. Allowing for rest days it usually takes about 6 weeks to get through one of her 30 day workouts. I'd start with 30DS (the first 2 levels are available on YouTube, so you don't need to spend money on a DVD). Do let us know how you get on

I'm aching again this morning - I did NMTZ last night. I found it quite hard going - I can really feel my abs and upper arms today.

Hiya, can I join you too? I'm on L1D3 of 30DS. I think I might swap in some running as I'm not finding the cardio is doing much.

Ooh, I have a question. Does anyone have a clever way of recording what exercise they've done each day, to keep track of what day they're on of the shred for example?

I don't have a particularly clever way of keeping track - I just write out a list of levels/days, pin it to the fridge and cross off the days as I go along.

I did NMTZ today. I think it was easier second time around. The 2nd circuit (abs) is still tortuous though!

Hi everyone!

Is there going to be a Jillian November thread? I've been slacking off in the last couple of months, but I have been doing a workout every day for about ten days now and I am starting to regain some strength and stamina. I need to keep this momentum going!

Count me in for a November thread... D2L1 of 30ds done this morning
